Which force?
Friction, air resistance, tension, spring force, normal force, etc. are all due to
- Gravitational interaction
- Electromagnetic interaction
- Strong interaction
- Weak interaction
Ans. A. An electromagentic interaction refers to the interaction of two electrically charged objects by exchanging photons.
The force is everywhere
When two objects exchange forces, they can do so without having to contact each other.
- Yes
- No

The work energy “theorem”
The work energy theorem, $\Delta T = W$ where $T$ is the kinetic energy (and $\Delta T = T_2 - T_1$ is its change) and $W$ is the net work done on the particle, is
- always valid (in classical mechanics).
- valid only for conservative forces.
